External database connection via SSL
I'm running a Rails 3.2 app on the Cedar stack. I've successfully configured it to connect to an external Amazon RDS database using the appropriate DATABASE_URL config variable. However, I want my application to connect to the database via SSL. This would normally be configured in database.yml, but since Heroku generates this for me, I don't know how or where to specify the SSL option(s). Is this possible? Thanks!, Nathan P.S. I posted a question about this on stackoverflow a few days ago, but haven't seen much response to it, so I thought this list might be a better avenue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9741072/specify-ssl-for-heroku-external-mysql-database-connection -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Heroku group.

Re: External database connection via SSL
From looking at the injected database.yml (see bottom of http://neilmiddleton.com/sharing-databases-between-heroku-applications/) you can pass in extra configuration as part of the db URL as query params. In theory, this should let you configure it how you want although I've not tried it. -Neil On Monday, 19 March 2012 at 16:53, Nathan Wenneker wrote: I'm running a Rails 3.2 app on the Cedar stack.

Neil, That worked beautifully. Thanks! Nathan P.S. For future reference by others, I'll post an answer on my stackoverflow question with some more specific details.
